Guys, this one’s for you:
Ladies, how would you respond if a guy you liked wrote and performed the following song for you?
I’m guessing you’d love it. Perhaps you’ve never played Mario Kart and have no idea about how much of a gift it is for somebody to take a blue shell for you. Chances are you might not dig silly yarn mustaches or even like guitars. Even so, you’d love it if a guy wrote and performed a song about how much he likes you in terms of Mario Kart. Right?
Guys, here’s why:
1. Because effort counts
Simply trying to make her happy counts for a lot. You don’t have to place your finger on the pulse of a woman’s soul in order to bring a smile to her face. Just be creative and put your heart into the effort. That said, building a 50ft tall statue of Vladimir Putin out of marshmallows in the name of love is just weird. A good rule of thumb is to keep it simple and as personal as possible. She’ll see how much you care!
2. Because embarrassment matters
“Putting yourself out there” counts for a lot in every relationship. Being vulnerable is scary stuff and it means a lot when you risk embarrassment in order to prove your affection for her. That said, if there’s a chance that she’ll be embarrassed as well, change your plans. There’s a difference between letting a woman know you care about her and singing a song at her birthday party about how good she is in bed. (Although I know a few women who’d love that.) Only throw caution to the wind where you’re sure it won’t blow right back into your face.
3. Because intent always wins
If your effort fails and you embarrass everybody involved, don’t worry. Intent has the final word. “I was only trying to make you happy,” if it’s genuine, is one of the only phrases in the English language that will earn you instant forgiveness for idiotic behavior.
You might not be talented, athletic, or even very creative. That’s okay. If she knows you at all, she’ll already know your limitations and appreciate the effort you’ve put into making her happy. Get out there and make some smiles!
Ladies, did you like the video? Has a guy ever done something really crazy just to show you he cared? Tell us about it!
Guys, when was the last time you risked life, limb, or pride to show a lady how much she meant to you? What did you do?
Thanks for sharing!

It’s cheesy, flattering, and romantic.
If a girl likes the guy making the video, he’s gonna get brownie points big time. However, if the interest is not reciprocal, it could lead to awkwardness.
I’d ditch the mustache regardless.
C’mon, it’s Mario Kart! Gotta have the crazy mustache.
Fear of awkwardness is responsible for killing some of the greatest loves in the world before they ever had a chance to get started. I’m willing to risk a bit of awkwardness on the chance that she might really like what I’ve done.
He actually has a decent voice. Aside from the mustache, it’s a complete win.
=)
Thanks Kim!
I think the moustache adds a bit of whimsy so humor points earned! Humor is very important at least for me.
Decent voice and the lyrics raw and says exactly what he feels so vulnerability points earned!
Overall, this is a tender romantic offering that any girl would love…and if they said they didn’t I would suspect either denial or jealousy on there part that it wasn’t made in their honor…just saying:~)
Ahh, to be young and carefree! He gets my vote!
Now if this was really for me, a ping-pong windchime hanging off to the corner would definitely seal the deal!
Thanks, Seth, for posting thoughts that are interesting & fun!
a ping-pong windchime? ahahha!
Unbelievable.
Thanks Henie!
I like the Mario Kart game because it is more challenging as you get to the next level.”.;
